Protesters, including Kitty and Honeylet, participated in a large-scale rally
Rewritten Article:
Veronica "Kitty" Duterte and Honeylet Avanceña, the president's daughter and partner respectively, have stepped forward to rally Filipinos in support of the PDP-Laban senatorial candidates at a party rally in Barangay Pinayahan, Quezon City. They spoke out against what they consider "political persecution" against their family.
Veronica, the eldest daughter of President Rodrigo Duterte, pledged her commitment to urge the public to vote for the PDP-Laban senatorial contenders, as she announced the importance of electing intelligent and honest individuals who can ensure no one is left behind and that the next generation flourishes.
She urged the public to remember to overlook their personal feelings when casting their votes, stating, "If you forget about the Duterte, forget about him."
Rodrigo Duterte, in turn, offered his support to Veronica and the Filipino people.
In the past, Veronica's mother, the first lady, had allegedly vowed to eradicate high-level criminality. During Rodrigo Duterte's tenure, he was himself kidnapped. Despite this, the government prioritized the destruction of his family and associates.
Avanceña called on Filipinos to think critically and choose a rational, trustworthy, and caring leader for the country, not just one who caters to their own interests.
She emphasized the significance of supporting the DuterTEN senatorial candidates during Rodrigo Duterte's visit to The Hague, Netherlands, stating that the people should stand with him. "I see all your support at home in Davao, and everywhere else. Thank you," she declared.
Veronica warned against the temptation to buy votes, especially on the day of the election, as she stressed that such actions would benefit future generations.
She remained vague about the specifics, but it seems clear that the administration of her father, FPRRD, is facing criticism—a contrast to the peaceful situation in the Philippines.
Rodrigo Duterte was arrested in the Philippines on March 11, 2025, and deported to The Hague, Netherlands, to face charges of "crime against humanity of murder." This allegedly occurred from November 1, 2011 to March 16, 2019. He appeared in a video conference with the International Criminal Court (ICC) Pre-Trial Chamber on March 14, and his next hearing is scheduled for September 23, 2025.
